President Squidward

I've concluded that Kyle McCulloch and Jack Pendarvis might be my least favorite writers of the series.

It's weird how EVERY EPISODE they wrote, they just had to ruin Squidward's character by making him do weird acts or make him act zanier. I thought Skill Crane was just a one-off thing, but when Post-Sequel came out, I realized it was a SIGN, and I think it made me lose my entertainment of Skill Crane a bit.

Weird how an Adventure Time writer can just suddenly change style with SpongeBob and just make it wacky as hell and not have some ground to it, or at least make all the characters grounded. Lost in Bikini Bottom, Tutor Sauce, both awful episodes.

And then, let's talk about Kyle McCulloch, besides Skill Crane, he unleashes Squidward's awful zanier side that should NEVER ever be engrained as a high percentage of his character, I haven't seen Sold! and The Whole Tooth,  but I've heard and seen some perculiar things about Squidward in there, and I am afraid to come across them when I do... BUT, HE wrote Patrick! The Game. One of the most disgusting, painful episodes to ever EXPERIENCE with Squidward. Truly awful characterization for everyone involved in there, including Squidward. Shame. Fuck that episode.

Now, let's talk about the TWO TOGETHER, writing some of my most despised episodes or moments of Squidward, such as Company Picnic (which I kind of seen and witnessed the horrors of OC Squidward in there, sucking on pens like a deranged lunatic Ren and Stimpy character) or THE FISHBOWL, which I had in my worst list last year but never watched really, BUT SQUIDWARDS CHARACTERIZATION in there alone, CHASING ice cream for no fucking reason, and then being tested by Sandy, SpongeBob and Patrick like a psychopath in a mental institution just seems painful. I fuckin hate it.

Squid Plus One I USED to like back when I first saw it, but now I realize Squidward felt unusual as hell in that episode, just in a more played down level, but still felt overly stressed and angry, and then takes a mirror of himself with him to the concert. He's egotistical, but not to a weird level like that. At least get his personality right and not take it up to 11.

It makes me not want these two (or hell, anybody in this era, looking at you Kaz...) nowhere near this character.

I'm sure these people are nice, cool people in real life. Don't worry, I'm not mad at them, I'm just not a fan of the writing and I know they can do better than that. Maybe one day I can work for something SpongeBob related and they can write Squidward better if the show has a slower pace in tone and was actually entertaining and not depressing to see everyone just be a train wreck to look at all the time.
